anybody else read / watch it?
Not bad IMO
-
Yes. Ive watched them all many times and I just started with the first book. So far the series is very true to the books, but of course the books are better.
-
I really enjoyed the HBO series and look forward to the next season. Still I miss the Sophranos. :D
-
Character: Xaro Xhoan Daxos
I was wondering how long it will take to file law suit for not having a single black dude in the show. I think they safe now.

Ever live with 5 girls? THAT is a game of Thrones. Good luck getting to the Throne.
:cheers: Oz

Great show... on A Storm of Swords now... I dig the books.
I like to sup with people... Especially on anything roasted and stuffed with wild onions and mushrooms.
Hodor, hodor hodor... HOdor HOdor!!! :x :x :x :x :x

I'm on book 2 now. Good reading. Don't have hbo so gotta find another way to see the shows. Highly recommend the books to anyone out there.

*Cough* Certain places allow certain downloads that may or may not be on the up and up.
Loved the show though.

Read the the books 4 years ago little unhappy I had to wait on book 4 cause he was working on the series....but Im hearing its pretty close on the story line.
-
I watched it on HBO, they killed off all the good characters.
-
It gets worse, Rash. If I wanted to see people with integrity go down in flames while the scum of the earth reaps the benefits I'd turn on CSPAN.
I stopped reading after the third book.
-
Awesome show, can't wait until April for season 2 to start. And I agree, it sucks they killed off the best characters, I'll admit that it was completely unexpected that you would kill off main characters, I mean you expect people to be killed, but not the lead guy. Also can't wait to see what those dragons do when they grow up.
-
hey any series that ends the season with a naked girl with a dragon on her shoulder just HAS to be good right? ... just finished the miniseries

Read the first three, haven't bought the fourth one yet, (Dance with Dragons). I'm not going to read it until the fifth and final one comes out.
I really really liked books 1 and 2 - at one point in book 2 I stood up and yelled, "NOOOOOOO!!!" Great storyline and writing.
However, book 3 seemed to just drag on with many words and not much going on. I find it became somewhat 'Robert Jordanish'. I have seen bits and pieces of the HBO series, and I think they have captured the essence of the book.
-
Yeah I'm not gonna read any of the books because I want it to be new to me when I see them on HBO, even though that means waiting a long period of time in between season to see what happens next. Season 2 is supposed to start in April 2012, I have read a story online that said they aren't sure yet if they will be able to cover all the books in the show, in which case if they don't then I'll read the remaining books, but with how popular the show is I'm sure they will get them all in.
BTW great poster for the missing wolf. :aok
-
I'll probably listen to all of the books by the end of January then run through them again. I'm surprised but pleased that I'm enjoying the books and liked the miniseries.

If you think A Storm of Swords dragged, wait until you read the next book. Feast for Crows was the worst of the 5 books by a factor of infinity...horribly boring IMO. Book 5 Dance/Dragon made up for it, but just barely.
I can't wait for episode 9 of the upcoming season 2, which will feature the Battle of the Blackwater, which will hopefully get a lot of CGI and other budget effects big $$ put into it in order to give it the attention it deserves.

I was going to ask if after the playoffs they have a Toilet Bowl.

At Comic Con this year they said that they are going to do the book version of the battle justice & it will be extremely well done.

DB Weiss said that 40% of the entire seasons budget will be eaten by episode 9, and that they are even predicting an overrun of that! Whee!!! I can't wait to see how the do it either. Be the best hour of TV of 2012 for me I hope.

My fear though is it will turn out like the hbo series Rome and cost too much and they will cancel it. I loved that show.

I don't think that there is any chance of that happening with Game Of Thrones though, GOT has a very large following and gets high ratings, high for HBO at least. I don't think Rome came close to the ratings numbers that GOT has been getting.
